RF ARCHONS
Marc Reyes
In ancient times, an Archon was a Greek ruler who oversaw the political and military well- being of his city state. In this tradition, the rulers of the far future in RF Online are named after these respected figures of antiquity, for they must take on a similar role for the well being of their race.
Each race in RF Online has a racial high council. The High Council is made up of the Archon (the #1 player in the game) and four Consuls (Player #2 to #5). These players have the ability to broadcast messages to every player in the race, regardless of distance, a powerful tool to organize and inspire the race that they serve.
During chipwar, the race’s High Council becomes an indispensable tool for victory as the High Council uses its race-chat powers to organize the race and have them perform tactical maneuvers to eliminate the opposition. However, the effectiveness of the Archon and High Council is only as good as the individual players’ ability to follow orders. United, a race can conquer even the most determined opponents. Separated, it will fall with amazing speed.
Archons are determined by the number of contribution points that the player gets as well as the level that they are. The highest level player with the most contribution points becomes Archon and #2 through #5 become the Consuls of the race. This is computed and changed daily. However, in the future game enhancements will allow the Archon to be elected, in a true democratic fashion.
Archons are not only the focus of in-game power in RF Online, those who are Archons can compete for real life prizes as well in the Lord Archon challenge. Every month, the top Archons of each race, which earn points through winning chipwars or garnering the votes of their race-mates, will compete with the other 2 Top archons of the other race in a three way last Archon standing match! The winner of that match will be known as the Lord Archon and will win cool real life prizes and be the undisputed Master of Novus.
The RF Online Archon System is a test of true leadership. The new Archon System program aims to reward those who exemplify the best qualities of leaders who lead their respective races to victory.
But true leadership is not all about winning wars and battles, the Level-Up RF Online team also wants to promote the values of camaraderie, friendship and cooperation with the community.
